RM FIBER INDUSTRIES S.A.S. (RMFI) - GFRP REINFORCING BARS
Revolutionize your projects with RMFIs GFRP rebar: Twice the strength, no corrosion and a lighter weight structure for long-lasting performance in any environment.
Advantages of GFRP for base slabs:
- Strength, durability and more.
- Corrosion resistance: GFRP is immune to rust and chemical.
- Increased strength: These rods are twice the strength of conventional steel.
- Reduced weight: They are significantly lighter than metal rods, making them.
- Economy: They are less costly to install and maintain, offering significant savings in the long term.
- Non-conductive: Due to their dielectric nature, they are ideal for sensitive electrical or electromagnetic environments.

Understanding the need for base slabs in modern construction.
- Structural integrity: It provides a solid foundation that helps maintain the stability of the structure, reducing the risk of cracking and shifting over time.
- Load distribution: The base slab evenly distributes the weight of the building, preventing uneven settlement or damage to the foundation.
- Durability: Reinforced base slabs, especially with materials such as GFRP, extend the life of the foundation, reducing the need for repairs or maintenance.
- Moisture protection: A base slab acts as a barrier, protecting the building's foundation against groundwater, moisture and soil erosion.
Meeting the demands of industry
- High load-bearing capacity: Industrial floors must withstand heavy machinery and constant traffic; GFRP rods, which are twice as strong as steel, ensure durability.
- Thermal resistance: Industrial floors must withstand extreme temperatures without cracking, ensuring stability in high-temperature environments.
- Null maintenance: Floors must allow for quick cleaning and minimal maintenance to retain their functionality in intensive industrial environments.
- Chemical and water resistant: Industrial floors are exposed to chemicals and moisture; GFRP rods resist both factors, ensuring long-lasting construction.
- An ideal solution for road construction
-
Incorporating GFRP rods in road infrastructure projects represents an effective strategy for more resistant, durable and low-maintenance roads. Thanks to its mechanical and chemical properties, GFRP enables safer, more
economical and sustainable roads to be built. This translates into improved connectivity, trade, road safety and regional development.
-
Moreover, being a lightweight and non-corrosive material, it facilitates transportation and reduces installation times and costs, especially in remote or difficult-to-access areas. Its resistance to extreme environmental
conditions such as humidity, salt water and aggressive chemicals makes it ideal for applications in harsh climates or coastal regions. By minimizing structural deterioration and extending the service life of roads, GFRP
contributes significantly to the reduction of maintenance interventions, thus improving the operational efficiency of road networks and ensuring a more profitable and sustainable investment in the long term.
